As Xenara began about rank, Alex's smile widened and he shook his head, "Let's get something out of the way. Unless we're standing in front of the Captain and you feel the need to the formality, my rank shouldn't enter the conversation. If it does, it typically means someone is in trouble. So please, whenever the situation will allow it, call me Alex. If you want to annoy the CMO, Doctor Talion is technically accurate, but Medical hates it when you do that. No, I value competence above labels."
He considered the idea and held out a hand to her, palm up, Gently inviting her to place her hand in his, "If I may?"
== Presuming she lets him examine her wrist and such... ==
Alex looked closely, his big hands gentle as if her were examining an infant. He mumbled, "High resolution, narrow beam, all vectors, full spectrum..." A second later there was a beep from his wrist, but there didn't appear to be anything there.
He released her hand and with a tap of his finger to his forearm, a device materialized there and his expression appeared impressed, "Well, that certainly isn't Star Fleet issue, but someone knew what they were doing." He was looking at the screen of a PADD that was worn on his arm. "I would need to take this up in the lab and we could discuss details in private, but I can work with this. I can certainly give you some field upgrade, but I want to be clear up front, I am not in the business of super soldiers and weapons of great violence. You don't strike me as the soldier type though. The closest I come to that is in training assistance for military actions that are fitting of Security Teams, like Shione might make use of. In your case, I anticipate that you're interested in more mobility and enough power augmentation to at least be able to pass a normal physical training course without injuring yourself, am I right? A tiny bit of reinforcement, a little software upgrade and a little bit of anti-grav assistance might go a long way."
His smile was warm and friendly as he asked, "How am I doing so far?"
He glanced to his device again and said in a low tone, "Give full workup with preliminary simulations for my review." He then tapped it again and it vanished once more. Alex waited for Xenara to respond.
